How did the inexperienced Georgian leaders in both eras deal with the challenge of secessionism, what were their state building strategies, and what did democracy mean to them Yara download?

Kakachia, K., & Pataraia, T.: The Role of Social Networking in Georgian Party Politics

The study shows that while internet technologies are increasingly penetrating Georgian political life, the extent to which the use of social networks translates into electoral success for candidates and parties is still open for debate x3 ap.

Mestvirishvili, N., & Mestvirishvili, M. (2014). Emancipative values in Georgia: An individual level analysis. Communist and Post-Communist Studies.
The main interest of the study is to determine whether and how an individual’s perceived economic situation is related to emancipative values in Georgia. The analysis employs individual-level survey data from nationwide public opinion surveys conducted by the Caucasus Research Resource Centers (CRRC) in 2010 and 2011 in Georgia. Several dimensions of emancipative values are examined: gender equality, tolerance, participation, autonomy, interpersonal trust, satisfaction with life and religion 다운로드. Level of education and age are brought in as alternative factors accounting for value change. The results are ambiguous and only partially confirm validity of the emancipative theory of democracy on an individual level in Georgia.
Lehmbruch, B., & Sanikidze, L. (2014). Soviet Legacies, New Public Management and Bureaucratic Entrepreneurship in the Georgian Protection Police. Agencifying the Police?. Europe-Asia Studies, 66(1), 88-107.
The article studies agencification and commercialisation within the Georgian police, specifically the Protection Police Department as the successor organisation of the old extra-departmental guards 개드립피하기. Given the centrality of police reform in establishing the Saakashvili government’s reformist credentials, this represents a critical case testing the limits of top-down neoliberal reform within the very institution that was seen as its centrepiece. It also shows how neo-managerialist forms of organisation—in particular the public law agency—are used to camouflage what remains, essentially, Soviet-style organisation.

Raminashvili, D., Bakhturidze, G., Zarnadze, I., Peikrishvili, N., & Bull, T. (2014). Promoting health in Georgia. Global health promotion, 1757975913508592.
This paper discusses the public health situation in Georgia 7급 공무원 다운로드. We first look at the main players and the current strategies in public health work.

Finally we point to some of the major public health challenges that Georgia faces. We conclude that the Georgian focus on reducing risk behaviours and improving access to quality health care is worthy of praise, but that this is not sufficient to solve the current public health challenges.
